A "We are the world"-Esque delusion that is both undesirable and impossible. Hym "Pluralism requires the religions to be transformed into something they are not. If the religions are resistant to the change that pluralism requires will inevitably be disempowered. Either by the state or the communication networks. It's at that point you have a hierarchy of religious dogma, backed by the state and communications networks, and it's going to elevate the religions that more closely align with your progressive sensibilities above the religions who do not. What you are suggesting is nothing more than liberals controlling the religions with soft power from the outside in a way that allows them to deny their own culpability. What happens to the Muslim fundamentalists who think gays should be thrown off buildings? What happens to the Christian fundamentalists who object to abortion on religious grounds? They both take a backseat to the other religions that allow your liberal bullshit pluralism to dictate (from the top down) which religions can accrue power. Your pluralism IS the precursor to the hierarchy you condemn. And that was my initial criticism of the Atheist pluralists. 'The religions would be fine if they believed what I believe. I should be the God. As long as the religion is promoting my progressive politics then it's fine.'
